The fakes project slightly, and are divergent, and flattened on 

 the inner side, with a rather long fang. On the flat inner sides, 

 and along the inner edges, are pure white hairs, which have a 

 very ornamental effect. The legs are hrown, paler toward the 

 terminal joints. The first leg has the coxa and trochanter 

 elongated and visible from above, the coxa alone being longer 

 than the coxa and trochanter of the second taken together. 

 There are some short white hairs on the upper side of the femur, 

 and under the patella. The palpus has two apophyses on the 

 tibia, one long and blunt, one short and pointed. The maxillae 

 are pointed. 



The female has a bro^vn cephalothorax, which seems to have 

 beeoi covered with white hairs, and there are long white hairs 

 on the face and clypeus. The abdomen is reddish bro^vn, with 

 some white hairs at the anterior end. The sides are mottled 

 with pale streaks. On the dorsum are two dark longitudinal 

 bands, upon which are three pairs of pale dots, and, behind 

 these, two pairs of pale bars. The falces are shaped somewhat 

 like those of the male, but are vertical and have a short fang. 

 On the inner faces are some short white hairs. The legs and 

 palpi are barred with light and dark brown. 



In its elongated first leg and general coloring, faustus resem- 

 bles Avitus dioleniij but in that species the cephalothorax is 

 much narrower behind than in front, and the middle eyes of the 

 first row are twice as large as the lateral eyes. 



Dendrypliantes tropicus , sp. nov. 



PI. XXVII, figs. 8-8b. 



Length, 5 4 mm.; ? 5.5 mm. Legs, 5 1423; first stout- 

 est and exceeding the second by the tarsus and metatarsus; ? 

 14 2 3, first stoutest. 



The quadrangle of the eyes is one-fourth wider than long, oc- 

 cupies about half of the cephalothorax, and is equally wide in 

 front and behind. The first row of eyes is straight, the eyes all 

 close together, the middle being barely twice as large as the 

 lateral. The second row is nearer the first than the third, which 

 is plainly narrower than the cephalothorax at that place. The 

 sides round out, being widest at the dorsal eje?>.
